Average Price Per CSR2 Point for Iowa Farmland

The average price per CSR2 point in August 2019 saw an increase from the month of July to $108.08, across all 80% tillable farms sold at auction in Iowa.

The CSR2 point rating is a measure of the soil's productivity out of a scale of 100. It is important to remember that monthly variations depend on the quality of farms sold that month. A longer period of time such as six months to a year is the best representation of the price per CSR2 point.

We saw an average price of $8,211.51 per tillable acre of farmland in August 2019. The monthly average is now on an increase from July prices. Tillable land for the month of September is above the 6-month trend line, which has steadily increased since the beginning of the year.
